I have purchased a lot of their clothing over the years and its stood up great. I have firehose pants & shorts, underwear, long tailed T-shirts - - and short of accidentally taking my chain saw to their firehose pants - all have held up for years. BTW - the firehose pants stopped the Stihl at full tilt and my leg only received a minor scratch.

I can say the same about a previous pair of cutting chaps... I felt something pulling at my leg and pulled the saw off just as it hit my knee. They barely slowed that Partner5000 running wide open.

I get their email sales flyers almost every day but I just cant see paying sale price of $15 for a pair of underwear that normally sell for $20. Call me cheap. If I were wanting heavy duty pants, I would look at Carhartt brand. I used to buy them when I was welding and they lasted long, didn't burn too bad, had lots of pockets and were comfortable. Their bib-overalls are great for winter work along with their jackets. I bought one a couple years ago with a hoodie that is really warm.

Everything I look at with Duluth says made out of country so I am thinking maybe China or Indonesia, perhaps Mexico.

Did you see the story about Duluth Trading and Don Henley from The Eagles? Duluth had a catalog page selling their Henley shirts titled "Don a Henley, and Take it Easy". Clever, right?
Apparently Mr. Henley did not think so! He sued them and won! Duluth had to remove the reference, and make a donation to one of Don Henley's favorite charities.
I for one love their clothes, they last and last and fit me well. I especially love their Bare Naked boxers. I just hope the Bare Naked Ladies don't take any offence to that title.

Long tail T's and Buck Naked Boxers are top shelf.

I noticed when they were using Henley's name and was a big shock. You just do not play that game. They played and lost but the whole situation bothers me.

I liked the Firehose pants. Not bad for Chinese fire hose. I did not find them particularly stronger/tougher than Carrhart.

I like the Crack Spackle ad's they have. It is worth looking thru the catalogs just for chuckles at their humorous ad's. I like the stuff I have bought so far over the years. I have remarked to them though, "Where is Duluth China?" based on some of their imports

Reviving this thread because I'm in the market for another pair (or several) of decent outside work pants.
I had switched over to Propper's cargo pants about 3 years ago, primarily because their cargo pocket holds an 11" laptop like a military BDU.
But as I get into more woods work they start to rip.
So I bought a pair of DT MEN'S FIRE HOSE BRIAR PANTS. MN Fire Hose Briar Pants - Duluth Trading

Other than a lack of cargo pockets they are great. Found myself kneeling in a briar patch to undo a fence, nothing got thru the heavy-duty nylon leg patches or the 11.5 oz "firehose".
So I'd like to find something like them with cargo pockets, or at least 11.5 oz canvas.
So any recommendations for other brands?
I looked at Carhartt - close but about the same price.
Looked at Wall, they had 1 pair in a tractor store that was about 10" to small, didn't even list them on line.

I received several of their catalogs over the years...never bought anything from them. One reason was because the illustrations rather then actual pictures...to me, illustrations don't show the product.
I like Filson stuff, but it is expensive. Their jackets, foul weather gear and hats are superb.
For work pants, I like (and recommend) Arborware over Carhartt. Much more comfortable then Carhartt and appear to be just as durable.

 

[2LaneCruzer]

If all else fails, you might try contacting a professional seamstress to make the pockets for you. It would be a pain, and probably not cheap, but it might be an option. At least they would the exact size you want in the exact location.

Do you direct order these Arborwear things? Anyone mail order sell with a discount? They look pretty much like Filson without the wax.

 

[Gary Fowler]

I like the advertising and get almost daily emails but the DT clothing seems to be mostly if not all China wear and outrageously expensive ($14 for a pair of undershorts when on sale!!!! and that is typical of all of their lines). I have always had good pricing and wearability with Carhartt clothing.

Normally ordered through Amazon when they're marked down.

For those looking for good durable pants, try the Wrangler Riggs line of workwear. The 5 pockets have a nice detail on the pocket if you carry a tape measure all the time. And the tradesman and utility jeans have double knees.

AND what do you do with those Wranglers or Carharts when they get ripped or wore out???

With the fire hose pants, you send them back for a FREE pair!

When I was skinny I could buy the regular cotton boxers at Walmart or Pennys. Once I became fat (all in the belly) I needed something more "forgiving". I had given their long-tail V-neck T-shirts a try because of the heavier weight and they have a pocket. They are top shelf. Decided to try the Buck Naked Boxers. They're outstanding and every bit as good as some Ex Officio's I had for when I was floating on the rivers.

I wear both every day now. They have proven to be a real value. I don't dry the underwear in the dryer. Just lay them down of top of a dresser, or hang them on a door knob. They dry fast and they last much longer than the old cotton boxers I used to wear.

Not much on the immature advertising but so far the T-shirts and underwear are first rate and worth the money.

 

[rekees4300]

Would like to try their Buck Naked Performance Briefs but for $19.50 each plus shipping I'll stick with Hanes.

 

[Otto Syracuse]

Hard to believe, but their $20 boxers are worth every penny. I won't wear anything else.
